The True Amazons: Or, the Monarchy of Bees

What makes this book so special in relation to others of the same title and year is the unique, individual, eccentric hand written inscriptions, notes and personal remarks by the original owner though out. This is a time capsule as an important reference field guide of its time. It would have been taken to the owners apiary, read, points of interest noted and taken back to their study for further reading.

It is an honour and privilege to hold this book with your own hands as other have done over the past hundreds of years. A masterpiece of practical and scientific study making for great reading today. The work, which was considerably in advance of any former treatise and contained many curious particulars concerning the habits of bees as well as practical instructions for their management stand the test of time.
Many early signatures to pages. Contents in g. to. vg. condition. An important and successful book which went to nine English editions plus others in German and Italian.

Description

The True Amazons: Or, the Monarchy of Bees. Being a new Discovery and Improvement of those wonderful creatures.
by Warder, Joseph

Longman & Astley., 1726. 6th. Ed, 108 plus. Hardback. Inscription to front inside cover. Contents in good condition for their age. Original brown leather boards (leather worn in places). Raised bands on spine. An important and successful book, which went through many editions and was translated into German and Italian.

A noted beekeeper, Charles Butler was one of the first scholars to theorise that bees were led by a Queen rather than a King-bee as suggested by the Greek philosopher Aristotle and of course to keep within the goodwill of the kings. His book, the Feminine Monarchy, first published in 1609 with revised editions in 1623 and 1634, provides an excellent overview of beekeeping still today.
